Orchestras for everyone: symposium summary
On 23rd November 2016, Orchestras Live held a symposium to examine the barriers that face people when accessing and engaging in high quality orchestral performances. In her summary of the day, Orchestras Live’s CEO Sarah Derbyshire notes that “there was collective agreement that more concrete collaboration and joint action across those represented in the room would create a critical mass of activity with positive momentum to drive change. One conclusion from the symposium which is abundantly clear is that our sector recognises that the time for debate is well and truly over. We need, and want, to move towards sharing information and learning in order to embed best practice across our organisations.”
